Description

THIS APP IS NOT HALO ITSELF!!

This is a simple convenience function for those who want to launch any app in floating mode on the Paranoid Android rom. It might not be what you're looking for!

HALO))) adds any app you want as persistent notification. This app is optimized for Paranoid Android, meaning these notifications will not show in your shade and they'll only be available through your HALO anywhere. However, basic functionality will work with any ROM.

I did this as well I used Facebook home source sort of. LolbAnd floating sticky. The week after the release of fb home. I loved the idea but hated home. So I went to scrapping. I was using this as my own. But pa took it to the next level. I see great minds think alike. I should possibly start sharing my ideas. I see I could be making money lol

Better then multiwindow. Works perfectly on my gs3 i747 running JellyBam v8 android 4.2.2. Only issue is if you get a missed call and call back in floating mode, every time you open the phone app from the launcher it keeps opening the phone in floating mode. Also when I receive a text and click the floating notification some apps close (like browser) and opens messages in a floating window with my home screen in the background. Kinda defeats the purpose. Also text messages don't scroll across the status bar anymore. Pls fix for 5

Works very well, love it thank you I am on an Asus transformer infinity tf700t with CyanogenMod 10.2, this mod rocks so hard! Only one issue, one handwriting app won't display writing when in windowed mode (but it won't with 'force 2d drawing' in developer options either). Excellent app here.

Yes! I thought halo was great, but needed a way to launch apps directly into it. This app does just that and only makes an already great feature more awesome, into the best multitasking option there is!

I think I'm in love! The only thing I want added is shortcuts to specific activities (open a specific document or book or Springpad note) or maybe have the app remember my position (so I don't have to go through all the steps every time I switch between applications). Switching between two or more apps in Halo itself - if possible - would be beyond awesome as well. Thank you for the outstanding application. :)

Does what it's supposed to. Does what it says it should do but features like being able to use installed icon packs like those used in launchers would make it a lot better. Another suggestion would be to use swipe to remove apps from the list.

Great app, but... You guys should add an app drawer icon so that you can have all of your apps in halo without having to awkwardly scroll between apps. After using altdrawer with this I can safely say a floating app drawer that opens up floating apps is awesome. Unfortunately the last update broke this and apps opened with all drawer in floating mode now run in full screen. This was one of the coolest things to do with halo, please fix!

Absolutely Awesome Great in almost every way. Just one thing. I would really like to pin a contact. If you could, it would open their info and/or messaging or something. Other than that, this app is really cool.

Worked fine till This worked fine when I was using Paranoid Android 3.9 but as soon as I flashed the latest rom Halo doesn't appear as a bubble on the side of my screen no more an instead just puts my selected apps in the notification dashboard, help anyone?

Great but can be better It can be better if halo just shows one notification and by selecting it, a menu of favorite apps opens instead of showing too many icons. It can be also perfect if halo shows the icon of the app which is opened in floating mode so it can be reopened after going back to the main app in the background.

This brings multi-tasking to a whole new level! Works completeply fine with my Samsung Galaxy S III LTE(I9305) with Paranoid Android Rom 3.97 in Android 4.3! This is really cool and awesome =) Thank you guys so so much

Awesome! Paranoid android rom is awesome. I like the ability to keep the notifications I want on halo. Keep up the good work devs and please get us a mf3 build for the s4. Can't wait to flash paranoid on my phone too.

Galaxy Note 2 I absolutely love this app, but I wish there were more tweaks you could do with the app like auto pop up, or make it easier to use, sometimes it takes me a few times to get the halo to work, and it disappears and Idk to get it back... very hopeful for note updates in the future, thank you pa, you always seem to come out with something new to keep me impressed :-D

Great but... This app needs to have the ability to select icons from the existing icon packs and downloaded icon packs within the device rather than selecting them from your gallery. For that I will give you 4 star for now.

Perfect Team Paranoid comes through yet again! To those leaving negative comments: if you don't know what a custom recovery is or know "what flashing a ROM" means, move along, this is not for you; or do some research first.

Just love it! This is so much better than any other multi tasking app. Replying to texts or just checking out some other apps is some much fun and easy. I just wish we could open any app(in the windowed mode) by searching. That would be just amazing.

Status bar icons should be the actual app icons. When shuffling through pinned apps via halo, the status bar icons should be the same as the app icon if possible. Also, would be nice for the option to rearrange pinned apps.

Not working on CyanogenMod 10.2 For S3 i9300 The halo circle doesn't show up anywhere on the screen. What to do? Is there any setting need to be configured? It did work flawlessly on Paranoid though, but I am using cyanogenMod. I will rate 5 if its fixed, because for now the basic functionality is not working.

Perfect! Funny short little story, today i got my HALO rom, and i told my friend.. if only you can launch applications from here for more multitasking capabilities, and TADA here we go.. works perfect thanks for your effort!

Not delivering!! I have heard a lot about the app and the video also looks amazing and usefull but it is just not working for my HTC one s (rooted). It is pinning apps to the App drawer but the floating notifications aren't appearing..... Can anyone help me out please
